The Hole in the Heart of God: Stories of Creation and Redemption

This book is a rendering in poetry of the ancient Christian practice of the Easter Vigil held over the night between Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday. Readings from the vigil become the point of departure for poems that reflect on the reading and then short prose ruminations that reflect on themes in the poems. The poems and ruminations are deeply informed by both the Christian story of the passion death and resurrection of Jesus and the great tradition of Jewish and Christian mysticism about the creation and redemption of the world.
